Watch this article in video format ↓

Hello, thank you for always using Ondoku.

Creating slides and presentations in PowerPoint can be quite a challenge, can't it?

How to make them easy to understand and how to convey the appeal to the audience are constant sources of concern for slide creators.

In slides like PowerPoint, you can make your presentation even easier to understand by adding audio in addition to illustrations and photos.

Furthermore,

• You lack confidence in your own articulation.
• You want to speak in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.
• You want to create a sense of presence by using a variety of male and female voices.

In such cases, it is very effective to use text-to-speech software to create narrations for your presentations and slides.

This method is rapidly gaining attention in some circles!

At Ondoku, we have also started receiving inquiries such as "Is it okay to use the audio for internal company slides?"

Ondoku is, of course, OK for commercial use! (For the free plan, please include credit attribution)

• Internal presentations
• Tasks involving reading text during work

It can be used for these purposes as well.

※For more details on commercial use, please see here.

In this article, we will introduce how to input audio using text-to-speech software to create attractive slides.

Text-to-speech software that can insert audio into slides

If you are looking for audio creation software for making slides, "Ondoku" is recommended!

There are three reasons why we recommend Ondoku.

• Commercial use is possible
• No software installation required
• Easy audio download

These are the points.

When using a company computer, there are often restrictions on downloading software from the perspective of protecting internal confidentiality.

In such cases, Ondoku is ideal.

Since no installation is required and everything is completed on the web, it can be used conveniently.

The fact that downloading audio files is very easy is another reason we recommend it!

First, why not try creating an audio file for your slides with "Ondoku"?

[Free] How to create audio files for slides using Ondoku

Creating audio files to put into slides like PowerPoint is actually very simple.

The things to prepare are

• The manuscript you want to read aloud,
• The slides where you want to put the audio,

That's it.

First, prepare the manuscript you want to read aloud.

You can write the manuscript in the PowerPoint notes, or you can create it in another software.

Next, copy and paste the manuscript into Ondoku.

The subsequent work will be easier if you create the audio files by dividing them to some extent, such as per slide.

Finally, insert the audio files into the slides.
